Aeon XP Air Transport Thread

As posted in the comments,why i feel they need one badly.It's far too shoehorned to the Space Temple ultimately.

Why they should have it 1 - Everyone else has it as an option already.
Since the fly in armies option is open to the UEF and Cybran,why is the Illuminate left out?

Why they should have it 2 - On certain maps like Corvana Chasm, or Van Home Core,there are huge empty void space in the terrain.
This would have been an good alternative option on those maps.

Why they should have it 3 - Lastly,an alternative to the Space Temple.
Here's why to choose it over the Space Temple at times.

A.You could have transported much more troops with the same amount of resources.
The Temple is much more expensive and takes longer to build.
The Temple has a limit of how many it can teleport over at one time dependent on how many can crowd around it.
The Temple takes a while to transport bigger units.

B.Cannot be Backfired Upon.
I've had a good player go through the beacon to hit me back in my base through the very same temple.Well played,yes,but if i had this as an option too,i could land on his blind spots and avoid this.

==============================
Possible Counterpoint 1 - The Space Temple.
Granted, it is an extremely good "transportation" option,but it costs 1460 mass and 5175 energy to make one,not to mention how long it takes to make.

It's far too extravagant for that purpose at certain situations,and has a counter exploitative feature.

Possible Counterpoint 2 - Aeon Units have Hovering units,so excess mobility options would make them OP.
This was an old fiasco back in the days of FA,where they were OP on maps with Water.......But things here are different.

You can't truly count on that hover subvert water terrain tactic to work due to:

A.Reduced Map Size.
B.From what i know of,the new Revamp Aeon units mostly have lesser hovering units than the old times.
C.The hovering units seem to suck anyway.
D.Most importantly, you cant walk through the water anymore even with Massive units.The Map design won't allow it.
